"I do pottery. I love it. It's very relaxing; it takes me to another planet"
About this Quote
The line “It’s very relaxing” carries a quieter subtext: modeling is not. The fashion world sells ease - languid bodies, effortless beauty - while demanding constant vigilance, judgment, and bodily control. Pottery flips that dynamic. Clay resists. It collapses, cracks, refuses to cooperate. You can’t airbrush a wobble on a wheel. That resistance becomes therapeutic because it’s honest: you’re allowed to fail, start over, and still end up with something real.
“Takes me to another planet” isn’t mystical so much as strategic. It’s a vivid way to describe flow - total absorption that shuts down the noise of scrutiny. For someone whose career depends on being hyper-aware of how she appears, the fantasy is not fame but disappearance: a mental exile where the self is no longer a brand.
Culturally, it taps into a broader craving for analog refuge. In an era of relentless visibility, Herzigova’s pottery isn’t just a hobby; it’s a bid for sovereignty, a private space where she controls the pace, the mess, and the meaning.
